LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
1. PD 164 - P.S. PROJECT JOINT VENTURE (CONVENTION CENTER)
Planning Director stated that the architectural concept
of the Hotel was approved by the City Council on May
7, 1986 and, since approval was only conceptual , the
architects have stopped working on the project, pending
a more definitive approval . He stated that the Council
needs to approve the architecture of i;he building
to allow construction documents to continue in
production, but that would not mean a total detail
approval ; and, that there is still the continuing
process of the review of details. He also stated
that the Architectural Advisory Committee approved
the colors in concept, but specific colors need to (139)
be looked at in the field; that landscaping has remained
a more formal approach, with formal water fountains;
and, that it has been suggested that the landscaping
material be contract grown; that the blue tile has
not been finalized; that the Architectural Advisory
Committee thinks the stairway does not integrate into
the design; and, that the wording "concept" should
be removed.
Upon questioning by Council , Planning Director stated
that the Architectural Advisory Committee suggested
that the colors and details relating to the structure
be dealt with separately from the building itself;
that the architectural sketch shows different columns
for the building; and that a decision still needs
to be made as to whether the columns are to be plaster
or stone.
Councilmember Foster stated the items approved to
date, as well as the columns, should be in a specific
motion, but that the Council was still not approving
what was being asked for.
Councilmember Smith stated that the applicants are
not receiving a blank check, and column material should
' be specified by the Council and not the applicant,
and offered the following motion, which was seconded
by Birer:
That the architecture of the Hotel and Convention
Center, including colors and materials as submitted
to date, be approved with final detailed colors to
